			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Version: 12.1<br />
Revision: 33 Build 13<br />
<br />
Modify your ATi Radeon Memory!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lair360.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ATi_Logo_v1.png"><img src="http://lair360.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ATi_Logo_v1.png" alt="" title="ATi_Logo_v1" width="200" height="186" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-850" /></a>Introduction:</strong> A couple of days ago, I was modifying my “ATi Catalyst Driver” for Windows, just before installation. It took me a while to re-write most of the lines. but it’s worth the performance!<br />
<br />
On the other hand, this tweak will only change your memory to their maximum capacity. For example, if I have this chipset: ATi Radeon HD 4870 (1GB) which only stated as 512 MB, then you will need to change that digit to 1024 MB.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tips:</strong> If you don&#8217;t know your chipset, HWinfo32 will analyze your GPU and notify you with the correct chipset.<br />
<br />
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ (Notepad++)<br />
http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html (Hwinfo32)<br />
<br />
1.] Install “HWiNFO32” and run the application.<br />
<br />
2.] Wait for it to load and look at the GPU chipset. It is located at the upper – right –corner in your dialogue box.<br />
<br />
3.] Keep your previous application running and search for the installation folder.<br />
By default, it should be in your system hard drive. If not, you may have left it somewhere…<br />
<br />
<strong>Default directory</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
C:\ATI\Support\9-8_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc\Driver\XP_INF<br />
<br />
4.] Look for this file: “CX_85695.inf” and open it with “Notepad-Plus”. You will immediately see a bunch of codes.<br />
<br />
5.] Scroll down to line ‘5100’ and look for this string: ‘MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration’.<br />
<br />
<strong>Example</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ; notranslate">[ati2mtag_M10.GeneralConfigData]
MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration=128
MaximumNumberOfDevices=4
SessionImageSize = 16</pre>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<br />
<strong>Notes:</strong> if you can’t find your ATi Radeon Chipset, you may want to press “Ctrl + F”, paste the codes into your search box and click: “Find Next”.<br />
<br />
6.] Modify your GPU memory and save your changes.<br />
<br />
<strong>Warning:</strong> if your cards support 1GB of VRAM, you will need to apply this figure: “1024 MB”. However, you cannot go over it&#8217;s overall capacity!<br />
<br />
<strong>Example (Default).</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ; notranslate">[ati2mtag_RS600M.GeneralConfigData]
MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration=256
MaximumNumberOfDevices=4
SessionImageSize = 16</pre>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<strong>Example (Modified).</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ; notranslate">[ati2mtag_RS600M.GeneralConfigData]
MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration=512
MaximumNumberOfDevices=4
SessionImageSize = 16</pre>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<br />
<strong>Figure MB *</strong> = ATi Mobility Cards (Not compatible with all ATi Radeon cards).<br />
<strong>Figure MB ^</strong> = This is only for 64-Bit operating systems with 2GB VRAM.<br />
<br />
Warning: this modification will only work if your cards support 128 MB or more!<br />
Please avoid changing your 64 MB VRAM (Low Memory GPU). This may cause your computer to black out or crash!<br />
<br />
128 MB<br />
256 MB<br />
384 MB *<br />
512 MB<br />
640 MB *<br />
768 MB *<br />
1024 MB<br />
2048 MB ^<br />
<br />
7.] Install your modified driver and have fun!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Version: 32.1b<br />
Revision: 11.1 Build 66<br />
<br />
How to increase the size of the swap file on Windows XP<br />
<br />
Introduction:</strong> when I was playing Socom Confrontation, the server chucked me out for no reason; my machine always froze, when I am playing online! This drives me insane!! So, I decided to switch off my PlayStation console and write an article about “Windows XP swap files”. That is right&#8230;pretty old school&#8230;way back, when Windows 98 introduced this “virtual memory swap file” settings.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tips #1:</strong> if you have external disk drive, you can divide the “Pagefile” between your physical disks (not partitions!) to speed up its performance. Select the required disk from the Drive list, write the sizes in the initial and maximum boxes, and then click Set. Repeat this for all the required drives.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tips #2:</strong> for best performance, please don’t set the initial size below the minimum “recommended” size, under “Total Paging” file size for all drives.<br />
<br />
<strong>Tips #3:</strong> to determine your preferred “Pagefile” size, you should monitor your system and see how much RAM and virtual memory it consumes.<br />
<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<br />
<strong>Method #1: Editing Memory Management – registry library</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
1.] Click Start >> Run >> Type: regedt32.exe >> Click “OK” and continue.<br />
2.] Wait for the dialogue box (registry library) and look for this directory…<br />
<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management<br />
<br />
3.] Double-click <strong>“PagingFiles”</strong> (REG_BINARY). The entry should appear as: <strong>“X:\pagefile.sys 500 500”</strong> or something like that…<br />
<br />
<strong>Notes:</strong> The first “String Value &#038; X” is the location; the second is the “Minimum Size”; and the third is the “Maximum Size”.<br />
<br />
<strong>Registry string format:</strong> Location > initial size > maximum size<br />
<br />
4.] When you’re done, just double &#8211; check the values and click OK.<br />
<br />
5.] Exit the “Registry Library” and Reboot your systems.<br />
<br />
6.] Finish!<br />
<br />
<strong>Method #2: Editing Memory Management – system property</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
1.] Click Start >> Right click on “My Computer” >> Select: “Properties”<br />
2.] In “System Properties”; select “Advanced” tab and click Performance, “Settings”.<br />
3.] Wait for the second box to appear. After that, just click: “Performance Options”; select “Advanced” tab and click Virtual Memory, “Change”.<br />
4.] Wait again, for the third (Virtual Memory &#8211; settings) dialogue box. Then, you’ll need to alter your system’s “Initial Size” and “Maximum Size”<br />
<br />
<strong>Tips:</strong> for best performance, you’ll need to set the <strong>“Initial Size”</strong> and <strong>“Maximum Size”</strong> in <strong>equal</strong> number. In other words, the number should be identical!<br />
<br />
5.] When you’re done, just click “OK” and accept the changes.<br />
<br />
6.] Reboot your system and do whatever you want&#8230;<br />
<br />
7.] Finish!<br />

Load FireFox &#8211; Webpages Faster<br />
<br />
Introduction:</strong> got a problem with Firefox browser? Then take your browser &#8211; power to the next level with a little tweak! Have fun and be careful&#8230;<br />
<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<br />
1.] Type in <strong>&#8220;about:config&#8221;</strong> straight into the address bar. After that, you&#8217;ll need to scroll down and look for these entries&#8230;<br />
<br />
<strong>network.http.pipelining<br />
network.http.proxy.pipelining<br />
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Notes:</strong> If you&#8217;re using Firefox browser (default settings), the configuration will only make one request to a webpage at a time. But, if you enable &#8216;pipelining&#8217;, it will make multiple requests in a single run. This method can be resource &#8211; hogging (through the network piplines). But, it will speed up your page &#8211; loading &#8211; time.<br />
<br />
2.] Set these configuration from your browser.<br />
<br />
<strong>network.http.pipelining = <em>true</em> (double click)<br />
network.http.proxy.pipelining = <em>true</em> (double click)<br />
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = <em>8</em> (double click)</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Notes #1:</strong> The default value for &#8220;network.http.pipelining.maxrequests&#8221; settings is 4. This should be &#8216;edited&#8217; back to default, if you encounter a problem with a request!<br />
<br />
<strong>Notes #2:</strong> There is no point setting &#8220;network.http.pipelining.maxrequests&#8221; higher then 8, as it is capped at 8 -MAXED!.<br />
<br />
3.] Right click anywhere and select: New >> Integer (<strong>Name it:</strong> &#8220;nglayout.initialpaint.delay&#8221;) >> set its value to &#8220;0&#8243;. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before collecting / receiving information.<br />
<br />
8.] Exit Firefox browser, clear your system cache and check a website!</p>

Reset master password in mozilla firefox<br />
<br />
Introduction:</strong> Looking for a solution to reset your password? Then take a look at this article and get it sorted.<br />
<br />
1.] Execute &#8220;Mozilla Firefox&#8221; (browser) and enter the following URL or paste the source through your address bar.<br />
<br />
<strong>Address:</strong> chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul<br />
<br />
2.] The browser will give you a warning with a &#8220;Reset&#8221; button at bottom &#8211; right corner.<br />
<br />
3.] Click on the &#8220;Reset&#8221; button and it will reset your master password. However, there is a downside: resetting master password will also remove all locally saved user-names, passwords and certificates.<br />
<br />
4.] You are done!</p>

<p><strong>Repair Ipod devices, external USB and other CD drives.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Introductions<br />
</strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Problem *1:</strong> When you attach any USB-based device; ipod devices; external hard drive or USB card reader which is running on Windows XP, your computer may not detect these attached device, and may not see them in ‘My Computer’.</p>
<p><strong>You may experience this problem when you&#8217;re using these devices.<br />
</strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>USB thumb drive<br />
Apple iPod / iPad<br />
External hard disk drive<br />
External – USB card reader<br />
</strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Notes:</strong> This problem may also trigger if there are corrupted / incorrect keys within the registry.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Problem *2:</strong> When you’re using a computer that has a floppy drive, the floppy &#8211; disk drive might not appear in the ‘My Computer’ folder. Even worse, you might aswell notice that it does not work in safe mode or in normal mode. Also, the floppy drive is detected by the ‘Device Manager.’ and you may receive the following message: “Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)”<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Problem *3:</strong> After you remove a program from your computer, you can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive. The CD drive or the DVD drive does not appear. Or, you receive an error message when you&#8217;re trying to access the correspondent drive &#8211; resulting with the following errors: “Code 32; Code 31; Code 39; Code 19 and Code 41.”</p>
<p><strong>Here is a list of code that you might have encountered.<br />
</strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong>Error one:</strong> “The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31).”<br />
<strong>Error two:</strong> “A driver for this device was not required, and has been disabled (Code 32 or Code 31).”<br />
<strong>Error three:</strong> “Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)”<br />
<strong>Error four:</strong> “Your registry might be corrupted. (Code 19).”<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>To solve these issues, please follow the guides, which is stated below.</p>
<p><strong>Please Remember and don’t forget:</strong> When you use this script, please unplug all floppy – devices. But, you can leave all other USB devices intact.<br />
